Compare two layers/versions in Designer

[D.VE]

I often want to compare two different versions of a shape in two layers.

Is there a way to do that with one keyboard shortcut without having to perform three actions (hide layer => show other layer => press spacebare to hide bounding boxes)?

Unfortunately I'm not aware of any singular keyboard shortcut that would allow for this at this time, my apologies.

I'll move this thread to the Feedback section of the forums to be considered for a future update

You can combine the first two steps using a third-party macro utility (such as Keyboard Maestro on the Mac).  The tricky part is that the spacebar would need to be held down if I correctly understand the request.

If you deselect the items instead, then the entire request could be handled using that technique.
